WalkthroughAdds scoped first-party trust for shipped flows. Synchronous and streaming execution enter this scope. Validation and local-file access recognize the scope only for installed package resources. Policy-denial messages omit operator settings and retain warning logs. Tests cover execution and containment. ChangesPackaged flow policy
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR intentionally exempts the shipped assistant from restrictive settings, but that exemption can propagate into tenant flow construction and bypass custom-component or code-execution policy checks, creating a high-impact authorization risk.

The shipped-flow test uses real flow loading, component registration, validation, and file-access enforcement with no mocks. The denial-message test uses two MagicMock settings objects and patches the settings service and logger only. These mocks isolate external configuration and logging dependencies while the tests execute the real denial logic and assert its messages and log interaction.

…ttings
The Langflow Assistant is itself implemented as a flow, shipped inside the
package, and it was loaded through the same policy gates as tenant-supplied
flows. It did not satisfy them, so it blocked itself:
- allow_custom_components=false blocked its own inline DataFrameKeywordSearch
node ("Keyword Search"), which has no registered server counterpart -- the
registry loads 444 component types and this is not among them.
- restrict_local_file_access=true blocked its own Directory node, rewritten at
load time by inject_lfx_components_path to the installed lfx components
directory, which is outside every user's storage scope.
Both settings are baked into the enterprise image, so this was not a customer
misconfiguration. Neither check depends on user input, and the flow is
revalidated every turn with no graph cache, so the assistant returned the same
error to every message -- including "hi" -- for every user, with no session
able to recover. Reported as LE-2321 and LE-2322.
A packaged first-party flow is product code, not tenant content, so it is now
marked as such and skips both checks.
Scope is bound to the ARTIFACT, not to "an assistant request is in flight".
That distinction is the safety margin: the assistant also builds and runs
tenant flows (run_working_flow) and its agent carries a FileSystemTool, so a
request-scoped bypass would re-open exactly the code-execution and file-read
escapes that agentic.helpers.validation and user_components_overlay refuse.
Only flow_executor sets the marker, and only for paths resolve_flow_path has
confined to the packaged flows directory; tenant flows enter through a
different seam that never touches this loader.
The file exemption is additionally clamped to the installed package directory,
because the marker stays set while the flow runs. Even inside it, tenant
uploads, reserved secret/key/DB files, and arbitrary server paths remain
blocked -- pinned by the containment tests, which assert that identical flow
content is still rejected outside the marker.
Also fixes the presentation half of LE-2322. Four local-file and SSRF denials
named LANGFLOW_RESTRICT_LOCAL_FILE_ACCESS in the message they raised, which
reached the end user verbatim; the assistant's 150-char truncation then cut the
remediation off mid-clause. The setting name now goes to logger.warning, where
the operator who can actually change it looks, and each message keeps its own
remediation plus a "who to ask" line -- fixed at the raise site so it holds for
every consumer, not just the one that happened to sanitize downstream.
Nothing tested the shipped artifact against these settings, which is why it
shipped. test_shipped_flow_policy_compliance.py and
test_denial_messages_hide_settings.py close that gap.

Authorization Bypass (CWE-284)
Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate
Preserve custom-component and code-execution policy checks for tenant flows invoked by packaged flows.
packaged_flow_is_active() returns before these checks. RunFlowBaseComponent.get_graph() builds the selected tenant flow with Graph.from_payload(), so the inherited marker skips them. The catalog policy check still runs before this marker-gated return.
Bind the exemption to the validated packaged artifact, or clear the scope before tenant-flow dispatch. Add synchronous and streaming regressions with a tenant flow that contains a blocked custom component and expect validation to raise.

⚠️ Important (preferably this PR)
I1 — The component-policy exemption is scoped to a time window, not to the artifact
File: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/flow_validation.py:980-988, src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/trusted_flow.py:1-20, src/backend/base/langflow/agentic/services/flow_executor.py:132
Issue: validate_flow_for_current_settings returns before it ever inspects target. Whatever is validated while the ContextVar is set is exempted — the packaged flow, a tenant flow, anything. Meanwhile flow_executor.execute_flow_file holds the marker across the entire run, coordinator.stream included, so the exempt window spans every tool call the agent makes.
The docstring states the opposite, and states it as the security argument:
The marker is bound to the artifact, not to "an assistant request is in flight": the assistant also builds and runs tenant flows (
run_working_flow) and its agent carries a FileSystemTool, so a request-scoped bypass would re-open precisely the code-execution and file-read escapes […]
Only the marking is artifact-bound (resolve_flow_path genuinely confines to FLOWS_BASE_PATH — I verified that). The exemption is request-scoped, which is the thing the docstring rules out.
Why it matters: graph/base.py:1867 calls this validator with an explicit comment — "a missed endpoint means arbitrary code execution, so we keep this as a safety net." This PR makes that net conditional on ambient context. Today nothing reaches it inside the window; the near-term risk is concrete rather than theoretical, because flow_graph_build_check.build_check — which calls build_graph_from_data → Graph.from_payload → this validator on tenant canvas data — is already written and imported into agentic/services/flow_validation.py, just not wired yet. Wire it into the per-turn validation loop and the bypass goes live, with no test that would notice.
Suggested fix: Make the exemption depend on the payload rather than on the clock. Two options, both cheap:
- Preferred — thread it explicitly. Add
trusted_packaged: bool = Falsetovalidate_flow_for_current_settingsand toGraph.from_payload, and haveload_graph_for_executionpass it. An ambient flag cannot be inherited by a call it was never meant for. - Cheaper — split the window. The two needs have different lifetimes: the component gate only needs relief during load/prepare, while file access needs it during the run (the
Directorytool reads at run time). Split intopackaged_flow_load_scope()around load +graph.prepare()only, and keep the run-scoped marker exclusively forfile_path_security. A tenantGraph.from_payloadduring the run is then never exempted.
Whichever you pick, add the inverse of the existing containment test — a tenant payload validated inside the marker must still raise. That test is the one currently missing, and it is the one that would have caught this.
I2 — package_resource_root is documented read-only, but the gate it feeds has no read/write distinction
File: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/file_path_security.py:224-238, 289-303
Issue: The docstring says:
Read access is granted for this root ONLY while a packaged first-party flow is active. […] no tenant data, no uploads, and none of the reserved secret/key/DB files
enforce_local_file_access has no read/write parameter. It is the gate for save_file.py:691, which then does file_path.parent.mkdir(...) and writes. So the safety argument reasons entirely about reads while the function it protects also authorizes writes — and a write into site-packages/lfx/components/ is code execution on the next component discovery, strictly worse than any read.
Why it matters — and why it is not exploitable today: I checked the one write caller. SaveFile._get_safe_local_file_name (save_file.py:400-423) rejects absolute paths, drive letters, separators, and .. before the gate is reached, so SaveFile cannot address the package directory regardless of the marker. The containment therefore holds — but it holds because of a second, unrelated guard in one component, not because of anything in this PR. The next caller that passes an operator- or agent-derived absolute path to enforce_local_file_access inherits the exemption with no such guard, and the docstring will tell that author the root is read-only.
Suggested fix: Make the intent explicit rather than documented:
def enforce_local_file_access(resolved_path, *, scope_ids=(), allow_storage_root=False, for_write: bool = False):
...
package_root = package_resource_root() if (packaged_flow_is_active() and not for_write) else Noneand pass for_write=True from save_file.py:691. Then the docstring's claim is a property of the code. If you would rather not touch the signature this PR, at minimum correct the docstring to say the exemption covers any access the gate authorizes, and name save_file.py as the reason it is safe today.
I3 — The exemption is broader than the bug it fixes: catalog policy and the code-interpreter block go with it
File: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/flow_validation.py:988
Issue: The early return sits above all three gates in the function:
if packaged_flow_is_active():
return
...
validate_catalog_policy_for_flow(normalized_flow_data, snapshot=catalog_policy_snapshot)
if block_code_interpreter_components:
check_code_execution_components_and_raise(normalized_flow_data)
...
check_flow_and_raise(normalized_flow_data, allow_custom_components=allow_custom_components, ...)LE-2321 is only about check_flow_and_raise (allow_custom_components=False blocking DataFrameKeywordSearch). The packaged flow now also skips the operator's catalog policy — the explicit per-deployment block list — and the code-interpreter block, which the enterprise image sets to True and which your own fixture faithfully reproduces.
Why it matters: No live impact — the shipped flow's seven nodes are Agent ×2, ChatInput, ChatOutput, Directory, DataFrameKeywordSearch, URLComponent, none of them a code interpreter. But the guarantee is now "this artifact happens to be clean" rather than "these gates still apply". Add a PythonREPL to a future packaged flow and it runs on a deployment whose operator explicitly disabled code interpreters, silently. Note also that test_should_build_the_shipped_flow sets block_code_interpreter_components = True and passes — it cannot distinguish a clean flow from a skipped gate, so the suite will not tell you when that changes.
Suggested fix: Exempt only what the bug requires. Move the check down to the custom-component gate:
validate_catalog_policy_for_flow(normalized_flow_data, snapshot=catalog_policy_snapshot)
if block_code_interpreter_components:
check_code_execution_components_and_raise(normalized_flow_data)
if packaged_flow_is_active():
return # first-party inline nodes have no registered server counterpart
check_flow_and_raise(...)Then add a test asserting the shipped flow contains no code-interpreter component, so the exemption's blast radius stays where you put it.
Review of the previous commit found the exemption wider than its own docstring claimed, in three independent ways. Each is narrowed here, and each is now pinned by a test asserting the negative -- the failure mode is a bypass, which no positive test would notice. 1. The component-policy exemption was scoped to a time window, not to the artifact. validate_flow_for_current_settings returned before it inspected its target, and execute_flow_file held the marker across coordinator.stream, so anything validated during the agent's turn was exempt. Only the *marking* was artifact-bound; the docstring asserted the opposite and offered it as the security argument. This matters because the assistant builds and runs tenant flows mid-turn (run_working_flow, and flow_graph_build_check, which is already written and imported but not yet wired), each reaching this validator through Graph.from_payload -- the arbitrary-code-execution safety net that graph/base.py explicitly relies on. The marker is split in two, because the exemptions have different lifetimes: packaged_flow_load_scope covers graph construction and is read by the component gate; packaged_flow_run_scope spans the run and is read only by file_path_security, because the Directory node reads at execution time. The load scope closes with the graph build, so a tenant flow built later in the turn is validated normally. 2. package_resource_root was documented read-only, but enforce_local_file_access has no read/write distinction and also fronts the write in save_file.py, where a write into site-packages is code execution on the next component discovery. It was not exploitable -- SaveFile._get_safe_local_file_name rejects absolute paths first -- but it held because of an unrelated guard in one component, not because of this gate. enforce_local_file_access takes for_write, save_file passes it, and the exemption is withheld for writes. 3. The exemption sat above all three gates, so a packaged flow also skipped the operator's catalog policy and the code-interpreter block. LE-2321 is only about check_flow_and_raise. No live impact -- the shipped flow's seven nodes contain no code interpreter -- but the guarantee was "this artifact happens to be clean" rather than "these gates still apply". The check moves below catalog policy and the code-interpreter block, and a test asserts the shipped flow carries no code-execution component so the blast radius stays put. Tests added: tenant code is still blocked inside the run scope and outside every scope; the shipped flow is still blocked outside the load scope; code interpreters are still blocked inside the load scope; package writes are refused inside the marker.
The previous commit restored these files from upstream and re-applied its edits from text that still carried LE- references, undoing "remove le- mentions". Stripped again in the same style: the prose stays, the parenthetical goes. Also covers test_denial_messages_hide_settings.py, which the original strip missed -- revert that file's hunk if the omission was deliberate.

Security review of this branch found the for_write guard applied to one of four write-capable callers of enforce_local_file_access, and the package read exemption scoped wider than the directory that needs it. for_write existed but was only passed by save_file. Three other callers gate a tenant-controlled *write destination* and inherited the read exemption: chroma.py and local_db.py (Chroma's on-disk sqlite store) and faiss.py (written by save_local). A write into the installed component library is code execution on the next component discovery. Neither was reachable: the exemption applies only while a packaged flow runs, and the shipped assistant flow has no write-capable node -- its agents' tools are bounded by its edges. But that containment rests on which components happen to be in one JSON file, not on the gate, and it expires silently the first time a vector store is added to that flow. A half-applied guard is worse than none, because the parameter's existence implies callers use it. The exemption also covered the whole lfx package when only components/ is read. Narrowed, so a missed write guard has a smaller blast radius. for_write only ever suppresses the package exemption, which only exists inside the packaged-flow window, so behaviour outside that window is unchanged. Tests assert the read/write split at the gate, that the root is components/ rather than the package, and that each vector-store write destination declares for_write. The chroma and faiss component suites skip without their optional deps, so the call sites are pinned by source assertion rather than execution.

…t scope Replaces the two context variables with exemptions bound to concrete data and objects, and deletes trusted_flow.py. Nothing is exempt any more because of when it runs or who called it. Component gate: a one-entry allowlist of (component type, sha256-12 of the exact shipped source). Only DataFrameKeywordSearch in LangflowAssistant.json needs it -- every other node in both packaged flows is a registered type. Neither half of the pair grants anything alone: the same type carrying different code is blocked, and the shipped code under a different type is blocked. A drift test recomputes the hash from the shipped JSON and fails with the value to update, so editing the flow cannot silently widen or silently break the exemption. File read: an attribute on the Graph object built from the packaged artifact, read back through component_may_read_package_resources(component) from the component's own graph. A tenant flow dispatched during the run is a different Graph object and cannot inherit it -- which an ambient context variable could, and did, before the earlier review caught it. Why this over the scopes: a context variable is inherited by everything downstream, so its safety depended on the with-block staying narrow. That was a typographic invariant -- a four-space dedent -- with no test able to notice a refactor widening it. Both exemptions now fail closed by default and cannot be opened by a new caller, only by matching an exact hash or by being the specific graph the executor marked. flow_executor's diff drops from 139 changed lines to 11: two setattr calls, no nesting, no indentation carrying meaning.

Langflow asst was implemented as a flow, so it was blocked by settings that users can set, esp in enterprise:
Both settings are baked into the enterprise image, so this was not a customer misconfiguration. Neither check depends on user input, and the flow is revalidated every turn with no graph cache, so the assistant returned the same error to every message -- including "hi" -- for every user, with no session able to recover.
